The P-51 B/C had a fairly unique system for ejecting the expended .50 cases and links. Expended cases from both guns were ejected out of a singular square slot, while the links were ejected out of two separate smaller slots. A modification to the case and link collector resulted in the links from one of the guns going out the larger case slot, leaving only a smaller slot for the links from one of the guns.

Does anyone have any pictures showing what the case collector looked like in the P-51 B/C? There are lots of pictures showing the P-51D arrangement, but pictures of the P-51 B/C arrangement are harder to come by. I think the P-51 "Ina the Macon Belle" (Kermit Weeks) has authentic rebuilt case and link collectors.

A picture of the P-51 B/C case collector in the wings, with the guns not installed would be great to see. Does anyone have this type of picture or drawing?

Thanks in advance.
